I dont HATE hate post-split or the characterization in it most of the time I LIKE THE DEVELOPMENT KINDA AND I THINK FOUR WOULDVE BEEN FINE BUT UGUHHFJJJ I HATE THAT FINALE ...... am i allowed 2 hate smth T_T i hate that finale sm w him and how they solve his issue by just chasing him around n talking 2 him like "we love uuu ur a great host mwa we had alot of bad times but we also had a lot of good times!!" (not remi being salty abt this bc that was smth their abuser used nooo I'd neverrrrr #imannoyingabteverything) i just. Miss when the cast was a little more emotionally oblivious and rude but everyone chilled out a little too much ig. They lit tried 2 kill four in pre split n thats FUNNY ik thats not a good way 2 end this season of and DONT GET ME WRONG I LIKE FOURS CHARACTER HERE, but they lose SO much of their charm at the SAME TIME, it made it SO difficult to enjoy them!! A little TOO humanized bc where is the alien-y mysterious but also rlly goofy bastard... he acted DIFFERENT from the contestants he was STILL an ALIEN ykwim? But idk he just ended up a little too grounded, NOTHING w his backstory or wants or motivations or anything is wrong, but still having that weirdo random chaotic sense of humor wouldve made it seem less like a sudden and JARRING change of character and more like development 2 me.
It couldve even played into the finale as why he's so hard to reach, instead of opening up or complaining he gets all bfb1 four-y again and acts silly, and alien-y and is violent and whimsical yknow?? Like WHAT IF he ended up wnating to host the competition forever and never let anyone win and reset playing the games over and over again getting more controlling when anyone acts out of line, and always swiping the prize out from under them as soon as they try to win again. Its structured similarly to the exit except its based around competitions and everyone has to act exactly how they did in previous episodes unless he decides he wants to change it bc it upset him, and x lingers in the distance, scared to talk to four, actively staying away, but watching them. Someone could point out x to four and how what four is doing scares them, how four left THEM in fear HE'D be abandoned. And pls let it be leafy. Like everyone else is trying to get out of this in their own silly way but Leafy and that could've been her solution. X's genuine fear of four could've caused them to stop AND THATS JUST MY OPINION!!!!! i just think it wouldve been alot more fun u_u even if the finale were supposed 2 be more silly i STILL THINK THIS COULDVE BEEN SILLY orrr like. The finale, while trying to be silly was too grounded. Too grounded to be ridiculous, too ridiculous to be grounded, it just hit the uncanny valley 4 me n didnt. Hit at all. But humor is subjective n again, my opinion.
